Texas and Washington are set to meet in the College Football Playoff semifinals on New Year's Day in the Sugar Bowl.
Two of the most high octane offenses meet with a spot in each school's first College Football Playoff National Championship Game on the line. Washington is paced by the runner up for the Heisman Trophy, quarterback Michael Penix Jr., and arguably the most dynamic passing game in the nation. The team will face Texas, who has a loaded roster full of blue-chip talent and has spent most of the year overpowering opponents in the trenches, opening up the team's explosive passing attack.
